Enabling Soft and Sostenuto

[David Ferris]

I just got a Yamaha P200, which has terminals for sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedals.

So far, only the sustain pedal works when I send MIDI messages to East/West\'s Steinway B for Gigasampler.

I\'m a MIDI ignoramus.

When I look in Giga LE at the case properties for the Steinway B, only the sustain pedal shows. It\'s associated with the number 64.

Yamaha says that Sostenuto is MIDI control change 66; Soft is 67.

Does anyone know how I can enable MIDI control changes 66 and 67?

Hoping someone knows,
David Ferris

The problem is that none of the sampled piano\'s that i\'m familiar with are programmed to receive them.

Hopefully someone can enlighten us on that.
